Beirut : Arab league (AL) Secretary-General Amr Moussa will visit Lebanon in a few days to resume efforts on solving Lebanese political crisis, the official National News Agency (NNA) reported on Wednesday.
Moussa’s assistant Hisham Youssif arrived in Beirut earlier in the day for preparations, said NNA.
During his upcoming visit, the AL chief is expected to gather Lebanese leaders from the majority and the opposition for the third time in a bid to reach an agreement that could facilitate the election of a new president scheduled on Feb. 26.
Moussa has failed so far in convincing the two Lebanese parties to accept an Arab plan which was endorsed in Cairo on Jan. 6.
The three-point plan aimed at immediately electing Lebanese Army Commander General Michel Suleiman as Lebanese President and proceeding to forming a government of national unity and drafting a new electoral law.
Lebanese presidential seat has been vacant since former President Emile Lahoud ended his term on Nov. 24, and the sharply divided Lebanese parliament has delayed the elections for 14 times without a consensus.
